EU’s shortages monitoring platform fully operational

29 January 2025

The European Shortages Monitoring Platform (ESMP) is now live, with the full scope of functionalities.

This will enable marketing authorization holders (MAHs) and national competent authorities (NCAs) to directly report information on supply, demand and availability of nationally and centrally authorized medicines during crises and preparedness actions led by the EMA’s Executive Steering Group on Shortages and Safety of Medicinal Products (MSSG).

The use of the ESMP will become mandatory for MAHs and NCAs as of Sunday, February 2. The platform is a key requirement of the European Medicines Agency’s extended mandate, enhancing shortages monitoring and preparedness across the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA).
